Genesis 26:20-22
Evangelical Heritage Version
20 But the herdsmen of Gerar started a dispute with Isaac’s herdsmen. They said, “The water belongs to us.” He named the well Esek,[a] because they argued with him. 21 They dug another well, but they started a dispute over that one also. He named it Sitnah.[b] 22 He left that place and dug another well. They did not start a dispute over that one, so he called it Rehoboth.[c] He said, “Now the Lord has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”
